Plus Consulting is an IT consulting firm offering solutions in IT strategy, customer relationship management, business intelligence, collaborative solutions and custom application development. Despite being populated largely by "type A," self-motivated personalities, the firm maintains "a communal desire for project and company success as opposed to focusing on personal success," says managing partner Steve Smith.
The firm is also committed to employees having satisfying personal lives, and scored among the highest of the small firms on the Work/Life balance portion of our survey. Plus scored well in the The Job category because the consultants of Plus Consulting "know and believe that we add real value to organizations by focusing on the people, process and issues surrounding implementation projects rather than just being geeks who install software," says Smith, who uses software as a metaphor to contrast with the kind of cradle to grave work his firm does.
"Software is a commodity that adds zero value if it is simply installed. What makes the implementation of a software product valuable to an organization are the related business process and people issues surrounding the implementation."
To the consultants at Plus, the real work is just beginning when the software is installed. Where Plus shines is the follow-up service
related to the successful implementation of that software.
